AP Source: Sterling surrendering Clippers control

LOS ANGELES -- Donald Sterling has agreed to surrender his stake of the Los Angeles Clippers to his wife, and she is moving forward with selling the team.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press Friday that the couple made the agreement after weeks of discussion. The individual wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the agreement.

Shelly Sterling is working to resolve the dispute amicably but wants to "have meaningful control" over the transaction.

Commissioner Adam Silver banned Donald Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million because of racist comments. The league has charged him with damaging the league and its teams.

Team owners are moving forward with a vote on whether to terminate his ownership. Sterling has until May 27 to respond.

Thunder's Ibaka may be available

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Thunder say defensive standout Serge Ibaka may not be lost for the playoffs, after all.

General manager Sam Presti said Friday that Ibaka's injured left calf is showing "a level of movement and stability not thought possible."

As a result, Ibaka is now considered day to day for the Thunder, who have missed him badly as San Antonio has raced to a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. Game 3 is Sunday in Oklahoma City.

Pacers' star Paul George cleared

INDIANAPOLIS -- Pacers star Paul George has been cleared to play after being diagnosed with a concussion.

George said Friday at practice that he feels like he is 100 percent after he was injured Tuesday night during the Game 2 loss to Miami that evened the Eastern Conference finals at 1-1.

The Pacers announced several hours later that he is expected to play in Game 3 on Saturday night.

The NBA's concussion policy states that once a player is diagnosed, he needs to be "held out of all activity until he is symptom-free at rest" and until neurological signs return to normal. George had to go through tests of increasing exertion before being cleared.

Rangers put Fielder on DL for first time

DETROIT -- Prince Fielder has been placed on the disabled list by the Texas Rangers with a herniated disk in his neck that is expected to end his season.

The move before Friday night's game in Detroit came a day after the Rangers said Fielder is scheduled to have cervical fusion surgery next Tuesday.

It is the first time the durable first baseman has been on the DL in his career. Before an injection to treat his neck last Saturday, Fielder's 547 consecutive games played was the longest active streak in the majors. He missed only one game the previous five seasons.

Infielder Donnie Murphy was recalled from an injury rehab assignment.

The Rangers have a majors-high 13 players on the disabled list.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. -- Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has been formally charged with two misdemeanor counts stemming from his arrest in March.

Hamilton County (Indiana) prosecutors said Friday that Irsay had been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and operating a vehicle with a schedule I or II controlled substance or its metabolite in the body. An affidavit says Irsay was driving under the influence of oxycodone and/or hydrocodone.

Irsay was arrested near his home with $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his vehicle. He later sought treatment.

Irsay acknowledged in 2002 that he had become dependent on painkillers after several years of orthopedic operations but said he had overcome the problem.
